A Thai Gilt Bronze Sculpture of Sangkajai (Mahakatyayana)

18th or 19th century, seated in dhyanasana on a stepped two-tiered base, the hands supporting his huge belly, wearing a dhoti with a finely incised shawl draped over the left shoulder, the face with a meditative yet slightly humorous expression, his hair in tight curls, small rings to back of base.

5 x 4 7/8 x 3 1/8 in.

Small paint loss to right shoulder; small scattered areas of gilt rubbing and loss; otherwise good estate condition.
